KALINDE FOUNDATION started involving Gram
Panchayats some couple of decades ago, when it realized that for the women
suffering with domestic violence, the first port of call is Gram Panchayats
(which is culturally accepted) and Gram Panchayats do take action, most of the
time, that suits patriarchal structures. So it decided to work through Gram
Panchayats and help them to understand how they can deliver Gender Justice.
we
moved to organize residential camps for adolescent girls and boys.
The next step was to look at various
International Conventions that Government of India has signed and transfer
their ownership to Gram Panchayats. And with this at present the Gram
Panchayats are involved in translating ICPD-1994 into action within their
jurisdiction.
